Hello
Hi everyone out there where ever you are, I had my first cycle of Taxotere on the 17th (12 days ago) after 3 cycles of FEC.
I think they lied!!!! they told me that the taxotere wasn't as bad as t...
Thank you Chris, I have added Biotene and the eye drops to my shopping list. The local chemist is going to rub his hands together when he sees me walking in the door soon, hee hee. Hopefully you are doing well in all areas on your journey and you sound so positive. Curly hair would be nice as I have always wanted it to be curly but it has always been as straight as straight. I have had a mouth like the bottom of a cockys cage since day one of chemo so I am sure it will get worse over time. I clean my teeth after every meal with a soft toothbrush and rinse my mouth with 1 teaspoon of baking soda in warm water to cleanse or alternate with 1 teaspoon of salt in warm water for any infections etc. It does seem to help a bit with the feeling in the mouth.
I am also washing my hands constantly because of concerns of infections especially after playing with my beautiful dog or seeing to the chooks food and water etc. and then I try to put hand cream on afterwards when I remember. I think I am going to get OCD disorder (think that is how you say it) from washing my hands so much........I know I am a nutter but got to keep your sense of humour I guess :-)
